I got my letter through two days ago about booking a Covid 19 vaccination. its something I have been wondering about given how Cipro affected me and the talk about people who have reacted after taking antibiotics.

So tried phoning 119 and they cannot offer medical opinions and told get in touch with GP.

A GP from my doctors surgery got back saying were you hospitalised by the reaction because of a great big shock, no just torn in half by muscle spasms that messed my life up and still affect it now. Okay when you get the centre you should be seen by a doctor and you tell them you had a reaction to an antibiotic and what happened. They will then talk to you more and I should be okay to have the vaccine. Sounded more a case of make sure they know and can monitor me after taking it but should be okay to have the vaccine.

Does that ring true for other folk???
